Starting to dive into this one tonight
She is great when it comes to this genre. Very informative and she is able to take complex understandings and simplifies them really well.
Several of her books helped shape my understanding of the Middle East and the issues over there right now.
Would recommend starting with The History of God

Karen Armstrong OBE FRSL (born 14 November 1944) is a British author and commentator known for her books on comparative religion.[1] A former Roman Catholic religious sister, she went from a conservative to a more liberal and mystical Christian faith. She attended St Anne's College, Oxford, while in the convent and majored in English. She became disillusioned and left the convent in 1969.[1] Her work focuses on commonalities of the major religions, such as the importance of compassion and the Golden Rule. Armstrong received the US$100,000 TED Prize in February 2008. She used that occasion to call for the creation of a Charter for Compassion, which was unveiled the following year.

Nope, I have read some Tim Keller books: The Reason for God and Making Sense of God. Really good as well.
If you want to see a good video in that genre, check out Father Coyne and Richard Dawkins discussion: LINK
